A Texas school custodian burst into tears after she learned a new elementary school would be named in her honor — 39 years after she first started working for the district. Marilyn Hampton, who retired this year, was surprised when the Aubrey Independent School District board of trustees announced Wednesday that “Elementary School Number Five” will be known as “Marilyn Hampton Elementary School” when it opens next year. Superintendent Shannon Saylor had asked Hampton to roll out a red carpet in front of the speaker’s podium during the board meeting — much like tasks she handled over the years as a custodian.
